In this episode, John sits down with Chris Grainger, founder and host of The Lion Within Us ministry, to discuss what it means to lead as a follower of Jesus in today's world. Chris opens up about his personal journey, navigating single fatherhood, suffering profound personal losses, and ultimately following God's call to equip men to step into leadership.

Drawing from his background in stock car racing, Chris compares spiritual growth to the grueling work behind the scenes in the pit shop, emphasizing that victory lane requires daily effort rather than passive attendance. He highlights the necessity of multi-generational mentorship, explaining how men must connect with others before offering correction and avoid letting feelings of spiritual disqualification keep them on the sidelines.

The conversation also dives into practical spiritual stewardship, touching on physical fitness, auditing digital inputs, and protecting family time. Chris encourages listeners to prioritize the big rocks of faith, marriage, and parenting over minor distractions, while holding fast to God and rejecting the enemy's lies of shame and condemnation.

Key takeaways

• True discipleship requires active, daily commitment and putting in the hard work.
• Effective mentorship relies on building genuine personal connections before attempting to offer direction or correction.
• Spiritual maturity involves intentionally bridging generational gaps instead of segregating believers by age and stage.
• Physical health and fitness should be treated as stewardship to ensure readiness when God calls you to serve.
• Auditing daily media and mental inputs protects disciples from spiritual distraction and compromise.
• Prioritizing core spiritual and family commitments prevents life schedules from becoming overwhelmed by non-essentials.

I<00:14:12.462> get<00:14:13.024> the<00:14:13.104> reason<00:14:13.441> why<00:14:13.601> you<00:14:13.745> want<00:14:13.986> kids<00:14:14.243> to<00:14:14.323> be<00:14:14.483> together<00:14:14.868> and<00:14:15.670> maybe<00:14:15.911> teenagers<00:14:16.488> at<00:14:16.568> some<00:14:16.809> point,<00:14:17.130> but<00:14:17.290> at<00:14:17.322> some<00:14:17.611> point,<00:14:17.932> if<00:14:18.076> they<00:14:18.172> don't<00:14:18.333> get<00:14:18.493> to<00:14:18.653> interact,<00:14:19.696> I<00:14:19.776> mean,<00:14:20.017> having<00:14:20.482> a<00:14:20.498> 16-year-old<00:14:21.444> kid<00:14:22.406> or<00:14:22.487> young<00:14:22.807> man<00:14:23.481> sit<00:14:23.850> in<00:14:23.930> the<00:14:23.962> same<00:14:24.411> room<00:14:24.652> with<00:14:24.828> an<00:14:25.053> 80-year-old<00:14:26.031> and<00:14:26.111> a<00:14:26.176> 40-year-old,<00:14:27.539> that<00:14:27.699> there<00:14:27.796> is<00:14:28.036> so<00:14:28.341> much<00:14:28.581> power<00:14:28.934> in<00:14:28.999> that.

00:14:29.239 --> 00:14:30.731
But<00:14:29.335> we<00:14:29.480> don't,<00:14:30.025> we<00:14:30.073> don't<00:14:30.282> do<00:14:30.506> that.

00:14:30.827 --> 00:14:31.902
We<00:14:30.923> just<00:14:31.100> separate<00:14:31.629> it,<00:14:31.725> man.

00:14:31.966 --> 00:14:35.703
We<00:14:32.110> have<00:14:32.303> this,<00:14:32.591> this,<00:14:32.928> this,<00:14:33.249> this<00:14:33.409> separated<00:14:33.955> isolation,<00:14:34.676> isolated<00:14:35.093> little<00:14:35.414> areas.

00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.826
And<00:14:35.895> then<00:14:36.457> when<00:14:36.601> you<00:14:36.633> don't<00:14:36.858> fit<00:14:37.034> in<00:14:37.098> your<00:14:37.243> little<00:14:37.419> bubble<00:14:37.724> anymore,<00:14:38.702> are<00:14:38.767> you<00:14:38.799> supposed<00:14:39.104> to<00:14:39.184> go<00:14:39.329> to<00:14:39.425> this<00:14:39.666> one?

00:14:40.083 --> 00:14:45.863
Or<00:14:40.228> maybe<00:14:40.452> there's<00:14:40.629> this<00:14:40.854> gray<00:14:41.175> area<00:14:41.432> before<00:14:41.817> you're<00:14:41.913> married<00:14:42.395> and<00:14:42.491> you're<00:14:42.861> like<00:14:43.118> in<00:14:43.262> your<00:14:43.583> early<00:14:43.824> 20s<00:14:44.241> that<00:14:44.386> the<00:14:44.546> church<00:14:44.723> just<00:14:44.948> doesn't<00:14:45.124> know<00:14:45.301> what<00:14:45.446> to<00:14:45.526> do<00:14:45.670> with<00:14:45.831> you.

00:14:46.007 --> 00:14:48.239
You're<00:14:46.072> just<00:14:46.232> kind<00:14:46.313> of<00:14:46.345> like<00:14:46.634> you're<00:14:46.794> the<00:14:46.891> land<00:14:47.115> of<00:14:47.212> misfit<00:14:47.613> toys,<00:14:47.998> you<00:14:48.079> know?

00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:48.608
Yeah.

00:14:48.817 --> 00:14:51.001
And<00:14:48.897> it's<00:14:49.058> just<00:14:49.283> like,<00:14:49.524> no,<00:14:49.764> man,<00:14:50.021> what<00:14:50.118> are<00:14:50.166> you<00:14:50.262> talking<00:14:50.680> about?

And<00:14:51.643> so<00:14:51.771> I<00:14:51.787> just<00:14:52.012> think<00:14:52.269> that's<00:14:52.574> a<00:14:52.751> big<00:14:53.618> area<00:14:53.794> that<00:14:54.035> churches<00:14:54.501> can<00:14:54.661> course<00:14:54.918> correct<00:14:55.303> in<00:14:55.400> now,<00:14:56.427> is<00:14:56.556> like<00:14:56.780> stop<00:14:57.166> the<00:14:57.391> age<00:14:57.647> and<00:14:57.728> stage<00:14:58.274> junk,<00:14:58.595> man.

00:14:58.835 --> 00:15:03.074
Like,<00:14:59.012> just,<00:14:59.237> just<00:14:59.413> bring<00:14:59.879> believers<00:15:00.313> together<00:15:01.163> and<00:15:01.485> recognize<00:15:02.063> there's<00:15:02.368> opportunities.

00:15:03.267 --> 00:15:10.563
And<00:15:03.588> granted,<00:15:04.053> also<00:15:04.856> You<00:15:04.952> could<00:15:05.096> have<00:15:05.577> a<00:15:05.738> young<00:15:05.914> man<00:15:06.058> in<00:15:06.138> his<00:15:06.331> 20s<00:15:07.341> who's<00:15:07.517> spiritually<00:15:08.222> a<00:15:08.302> whole<00:15:08.543> lot<00:15:08.703> more<00:15:08.864> mature<00:15:09.360> than<00:15:09.505> a<00:15:09.537> man<00:15:09.906> in<00:15:09.986> his<00:15:10.162> 50s.

00:15:11.284 --> 00:15:13.929
And<00:15:11.364> there's<00:15:11.765> some—<00:15:11.925> there's<00:15:12.230> opportunities<00:15:12.807> there<00:15:12.967> to<00:15:13.112> help<00:15:13.368> each<00:15:13.593> other<00:15:13.769> too.

00:16:26.290 --> 00:16:29.162
I<00:16:26.306> believe<00:16:26.562> that<00:16:26.771> young<00:16:27.028> men<00:16:27.349> need<00:16:27.734> older<00:16:27.910> men<00:16:28.071> to<00:16:28.215> show<00:16:28.391> them<00:16:28.488> how<00:16:28.632> to<00:16:28.712> be<00:16:28.809> men.

00:16:29.498 --> 00:16:32.210
And<00:16:30.541> yet<00:16:30.718> we've<00:16:30.894> just,<00:16:31.360> we've<00:16:31.616> lost<00:16:31.985> that.

00:16:32.547 --> 00:16:36.975

And<00:25:47.186> so<00:25:47.330> I<00:25:47.347> remember<00:25:47.748> like<00:25:48.391> there<00:25:48.487> were<00:25:48.615> different<00:25:49.017> mentors<00:25:49.499> I<00:25:49.659> had<00:25:50.077> who<00:25:50.318> were<00:25:51.282> very<00:25:52.727> cool<00:25:53.193> and<00:25:53.273> exciting<00:25:53.932> people<00:25:54.333> doing<00:25:54.735> really<00:25:55.201> epic<00:25:55.474> stuff<00:25:56.100> and<00:25:57.208> And<00:25:57.305> I<00:25:57.369> was<00:25:57.530> very<00:25:57.722> naturally<00:25:58.429> drawn<00:25:58.750> to<00:25:58.847> those<00:25:59.152> guys<00:25:59.698> for<00:25:59.955> the<00:26:00.180> things<00:26:00.421> that<00:26:00.517> they<00:26:00.662> were<00:26:00.822> accomplishing<00:26:01.561> and<00:26:01.722> doing.

00:26:02.605 --> 00:26:10.588
But<00:26:02.830> when<00:26:02.926> I<00:26:03.071> look<00:26:03.328> back<00:26:04.292> and<00:26:04.436> still<00:26:04.774> today,<00:26:05.272> the<00:26:05.416> people<00:26:05.737> that<00:26:05.898> are<00:26:05.978> impacting<00:26:06.492> me<00:26:06.621> the<00:26:06.717> most<00:26:07.970> are<00:26:08.002> not<00:26:08.388> the<00:26:08.468> guys<00:26:08.869> that<00:26:09.030> were<00:26:09.656> the<00:26:09.737> flash<00:26:10.074> in<00:26:10.219> the<00:26:10.315> pan.

00:26:11.102 --> 00:26:21.189
They<00:26:11.198> were<00:26:11.343> the<00:26:11.439> guys<00:26:11.825> that<00:26:11.986> were<00:26:12.146> just<00:26:13.270> rock<00:26:13.592> solid,<00:26:14.796> you<00:26:14.828> know,<00:26:15.118> but<00:26:15.294> sometimes<00:26:15.696> you<00:26:15.776> had<00:26:16.001> to<00:26:16.081> sit<00:26:16.338> there<00:26:16.579> and<00:26:16.660> mine<00:26:17.061> a<00:26:17.077> little<00:26:17.366> bit<00:26:17.607> to<00:26:17.704> get<00:26:17.945> the<00:26:18.089> wisdom<00:26:18.426> out<00:26:18.603> of<00:26:18.667> them<00:26:18.908> because<00:26:19.390> they<00:26:19.551> weren't<00:26:19.872> trying<00:26:20.193> to<00:26:20.274> go<00:26:20.434> self-promote.

00:26:21.398 --> 00:26:22.201
And<00:26:21.462> I<00:26:21.478> think<00:26:21.639> that's<00:26:21.960> the.

00:26:22.667 --> 00:26:22.859
Right.

00:26:22.908 --> 00:26:31.771
The<00:26:23.004> other<00:26:23.164> challenge<00:26:23.710> is<00:26:23.887> like<00:26:24.112> a<00:26:24.128> lot<00:26:24.369> of<00:26:24.449> the<00:26:24.593> people<00:26:24.850> that<00:26:24.931> have<00:26:25.091> the<00:26:25.172> most<00:26:25.412> to<00:26:25.637> offer,<00:26:27.018> they're<00:26:27.259> willing<00:26:27.660> to<00:26:27.741> give<00:26:28.046> it,<00:26:28.287> but<00:26:28.624> they're<00:26:28.800> not<00:26:29.491> trying<00:26:29.989> to,<00:26:30.310> they're<00:26:30.406> not<00:26:30.567> saying<00:26:30.936> they<00:26:30.968> don't<00:26:31.177> have<00:26:31.514> to.

00:26:32.140 --> 00:26:42.208
And,<00:26:32.461> um,<00:26:32.879> so<00:26:32.975> they're<00:26:33.055> not<00:26:33.200> gonna<00:26:33.425> come<00:26:33.601> hunt<00:26:33.826> you<00:26:33.922> down<00:26:34.244> and<00:26:34.324> try<00:26:34.516> to<00:26:34.565> sell<00:26:34.950> you<00:26:35.127> on,<00:26:35.351> hey,<00:26:35.464> if<00:26:35.673> you<00:26:36.251> do<00:26:36.475> life<00:26:36.797> the<00:26:36.877> way<00:26:36.973> that<00:26:37.118> I'm<00:26:37.294> telling<00:26:37.519> you<00:26:37.615> to<00:26:37.696> do<00:26:37.920> it,<00:26:38.161> then<00:26:38.643> you<00:26:38.675> know,<00:26:38.884> you're<00:26:38.980> gonna<00:26:39.125> make<00:26:39.317> a<00:26:39.382> ton<00:26:39.542> of<00:26:39.606> money<00:26:39.847> or<00:26:40.024> have,<00:26:40.570> have<00:26:40.811> your<00:26:40.907> dream<00:26:41.292> life<00:26:41.646> or<00:26:41.870> whatever.

00:26:42.352 --> 00:26:47.298
They're,<00:26:43.075> they're<00:26:43.219> the<00:26:43.315> guys<00:26:43.637> that<00:26:43.797> are<00:26:43.942> just<00:26:44.199> doing<00:26:44.584> it<00:26:44.841> and<00:26:44.937> saying,<00:26:45.403> hey,<00:26:45.467> I'll<00:26:45.644> walk<00:26:45.949> with<00:26:46.190> you<00:26:46.350> if,<00:26:46.623> if<00:26:46.752> you<00:26:46.848> want<00:26:46.992> to<00:26:47.089> do<00:26:47.249> it.

That's<00:26:48.052> right.

00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:48.807
Yeah.

00:26:48.919 --> 00:26:54.154
I<00:26:48.935> think<00:26:49.176> too<00:26:49.337> often<00:26:49.578> we're<00:26:49.738> trying<00:26:49.963> to<00:26:50.123> find<00:26:50.380> like,<00:26:51.183> man,<00:26:51.504> I<00:26:51.520> wish<00:26:51.890> Joby<00:26:52.130> Martin<00:26:52.548> or<00:26:52.709> Tim<00:26:53.014> Tebow<00:26:53.656> or<00:26:53.897> J.D.

00:26:56.658 --> 00:26:57.461
That'd<00:26:56.883> be<00:26:57.028> kind<00:26:57.204> of<00:26:57.285> cool.

00:26:57.670 --> 00:26:58.489
But<00:26:57.830> you<00:26:57.927> know<00:26:58.152> what?

00:26:58.810 --> 00:27:14.015
They're<00:26:59.131> like,<00:26:59.436> let's<00:26:59.613> just<00:26:59.757> go<00:26:59.870> find<00:27:00.239> the<00:27:00.319> guys<00:27:00.576> that<00:27:00.721> are<00:27:00.978> and<00:27:01.122> quit<00:27:01.363> worrying<00:27:01.556> about<00:27:01.925> the,<00:27:02.583> the<00:27:02.647> flashy<00:27:03.065> stuff<00:27:03.370> like<00:27:03.530> you're<00:27:03.691> talking<00:27:03.948> about<00:27:04.173> and<00:27:04.414> just<00:27:04.574> find<00:27:04.831> a<00:27:04.911> guy<00:27:05.618> who's<00:27:05.794> been<00:27:06.019> married<00:27:06.276> for<00:27:06.581> 30<00:27:06.983> years,<00:27:07.962> who's<00:27:08.203> raised<00:27:08.765> 4<00:27:09.070> kids,<00:27:10.033> who<00:27:10.274> owns<00:27:10.676> his<00:27:10.916> house,<00:27:12.040> you<00:27:12.072> know,<00:27:12.217> whose<00:27:12.474> life<00:27:12.779> is<00:27:12.859> not<00:27:13.084> a<00:27:13.261> dumpster<00:27:13.662> fire.

00:27:14.465 --> 00:27:16.215
And<00:27:14.545> let's<00:27:14.770> learn<00:27:14.947> from<00:27:15.107> that<00:27:15.348> guy,<00:27:15.910> you<00:27:16.006> know?

00:27:16.938 --> 00:27:16.986
Yeah.

00:27:17.034 --> 00:27:21.369
And<00:27:17.178> the<00:27:17.259> humility<00:27:17.981> to<00:27:18.142> recognize,<00:27:19.764> I<00:27:19.828> mean,<00:27:19.940> I<00:27:19.988> had<00:27:20.085> to<00:27:20.229> learn<00:27:20.406> this<00:27:20.566> one<00:27:20.807> backwards.

00:27:21.433 --> 00:27:25.191
I<00:27:21.449> don't,<00:27:22.072> it<00:27:22.092> wasn't<00:27:22.284> like<00:27:22.477> I<00:27:22.493> started<00:27:22.911> here,<00:27:23.119> but<00:27:23.216> the<00:27:23.296> humility<00:27:23.729> to<00:27:23.778> recognize<00:27:24.324> I<00:27:24.356> don't<00:27:24.580> know<00:27:24.725> what<00:27:24.773> I'm<00:27:24.982> doing.

00:27:25.929 --> 00:27:32.416
Like,<00:27:26.331> I<00:27:26.347> think<00:27:26.572> that<00:27:27.695> can<00:27:27.792> be<00:27:28.017> really<00:27:28.274> hard<00:27:28.659> to<00:27:28.755> admit<00:27:29.301> as<00:27:29.462> a<00:27:29.542> young<00:27:29.783> man,<00:27:30.666> but<00:27:31.485> really<00:27:31.822> essential.

00:27:32.593 --> 00:27:33.925
And<00:27:32.689> there's<00:27:32.930> no,<00:27:33.107> it's<00:27:33.251> not<00:27:33.492> failure.

00:27:34.038 --> 00:27:35.949
It's<00:27:34.150> not,<00:27:34.439> I<00:27:34.455> don't<00:27:34.616> know,<00:27:35.033> I<00:27:35.049> don't<00:27:35.242> know<00:27:35.403> what<00:27:35.451> I'm<00:27:35.579> doing.

00:27:36.462 --> 00:27:40.236
Therefore<00:27:37.490> I<00:27:37.586> am<00:27:37.747> less<00:27:38.052> than,<00:27:38.132> and<00:27:38.373> I<00:27:38.389> have<00:27:38.614> all<00:27:38.646> these<00:27:38.871> problems<00:27:39.417> and<00:27:39.497> there's<00:27:39.658> no<00:27:39.818> hope<00:27:39.995> for<00:27:40.123> me.

00:27:40.316 --> 00:27:41.408
It's,<00:27:40.621> I<00:27:40.637> don't<00:27:40.782> know<00:27:40.878> what<00:27:40.974> I'm<00:27:41.119> doing.

00:27:42.307 --> 00:27:43.751
And<00:27:42.403> that's<00:27:42.724> part<00:27:42.900> of<00:27:42.965> the<00:27:43.109> process.

00:27:43.992 --> 00:27:51.213

00:27:52.176 --> 00:28:02.590
Um,<00:27:52.818> I<00:27:52.834> share<00:27:53.781> oftentimes<00:27:54.438> about<00:27:55.417> some<00:27:55.642> of<00:27:55.674> my<00:27:55.947> first<00:27:56.284> interactions<00:27:56.990> with<00:27:57.038> Scott<00:27:57.552> and<00:27:57.632> just<00:27:57.873> like<00:27:58.194> him,<00:27:59.397> you<00:27:59.429> know,<00:27:59.638> hitting<00:27:59.814> the<00:27:59.895> nail<00:28:00.135> on<00:28:00.215> the<00:28:00.296> head<00:28:00.536> of<00:28:00.777> exactly<00:28:01.259> where<00:28:01.419> I<00:28:01.483> was<00:28:01.724> at<00:28:01.900> and<00:28:01.981> what<00:28:02.141> I<00:28:02.221> needed.

00:28:03.104 --> 00:28:05.479
But<00:28:03.248> none<00:28:03.489> of<00:28:03.650> it<00:28:03.746> was<00:28:04.067> like<00:28:04.885> appealing.

I<00:34:56.363> think<00:34:57.181> a<00:34:57.663> friend<00:34:57.919> and<00:34:57.968> mentor<00:34:58.304> of<00:34:58.369> mine<00:34:58.930> shared<00:34:59.203> this<00:34:59.427> thought<00:34:59.668> once<00:34:59.909> that,<00:35:00.550> you<00:35:00.631> know,<00:35:01.513> we<00:35:01.673> just<00:35:01.898> like,<00:35:02.075> we<00:35:02.219> wouldn't<00:35:02.395> put<00:35:02.572> a<00:35:02.636> bunch<00:35:02.813> of<00:35:02.941> junk<00:35:03.198> food<00:35:03.438> in<00:35:03.502> our<00:35:03.599> body.

00:35:04.385 --> 00:35:06.101
What<00:35:04.545> is<00:35:04.641> the<00:35:04.786> content<00:35:05.283> that<00:35:05.379> we're<00:35:05.524> consuming?

00:35:06.166 --> 00:35:07.978
And<00:35:06.230> I<00:35:06.326> think<00:35:06.567> that's<00:35:06.887> this<00:35:07.192> overlooked<00:35:07.834> thing.

00:35:09.133 --> 00:35:14.741
And<00:35:09.213> I<00:35:09.293> think<00:35:09.437> some<00:35:09.597> people<00:35:09.774> go,<00:35:09.918> well,<00:35:09.998> I<00:35:10.094> know<00:35:10.334> I<00:35:10.414> probably<00:35:10.719> shouldn't<00:35:11.055> be<00:35:11.216> watching<00:35:11.600> YouTube<00:35:12.001> all<00:35:12.097> the<00:35:12.177> time,<00:35:12.594> or<00:35:12.882> you<00:35:12.978> list<00:35:13.219> the<00:35:13.315> thing,<00:35:13.443> or<00:35:13.539> get—<00:35:13.779> be<00:35:13.924> on<00:35:14.020> social<00:35:14.308> media.

00:35:15.542 --> 00:35:22.160
But<00:35:15.766> the—<00:35:16.087> there's<00:35:16.247> a<00:35:16.407> gap<00:35:17.048> in<00:35:17.224> recognizing<00:35:18.090> how<00:35:18.346> that<00:35:18.506> actually<00:35:18.907> affects<00:35:19.308> how<00:35:19.548> we<00:35:19.644> think<00:35:20.189> and<00:35:20.333> how<00:35:20.429> we're<00:35:20.654> living<00:35:20.926> and<00:35:21.054> what<00:35:21.214> we're<00:35:21.375> prioritizing,.

00:35:22.656 --> 00:35:22.769
Right?

00:35:22.849 --> 00:35:26.630
So<00:35:23.057> what<00:35:23.153> do<00:35:23.297> you<00:35:23.474> teach<00:35:23.858> men<00:35:24.435> about<00:35:25.236> this<00:35:25.621> input<00:35:25.973> side<00:35:26.262> of<00:35:26.342> things?

00:35:30.588 --> 00:35:42.628

And.

00:35:47.744 --> 00:35:47.840
Yeah.

00:42:31.545 --> 00:42:33.100
When,<00:42:32.266> when<00:42:32.346> they<00:42:32.443> start<00:42:32.683> getting<00:42:32.924> that,.

They<00:43:23.449> just—<00:43:24.170> they<00:43:24.394> love<00:43:24.651> it<00:43:24.683> because<00:43:24.859> they're<00:43:24.955> just<00:43:25.212> like,<00:43:25.933> man,<00:43:26.477> he<00:43:26.573> just<00:43:26.814> say<00:43:26.974> that?

00:43:27.375 --> 00:43:27.871
Yeah,<00:43:27.439> he<00:43:27.695> did.

00:43:27.919 --> 00:43:29.201
He<00:43:28.015> doubled<00:43:28.256> down<00:43:28.560> on<00:43:28.720> it,<00:43:28.881> you<00:43:28.977> know.

00:43:29.281 --> 00:43:34.857
And,<00:43:29.538> and,<00:43:30.002> and<00:43:30.339> it's<00:43:30.499> not<00:43:31.044> Chris's<00:43:31.380> opinion,<00:43:32.325> it's,<00:43:32.742> it's,<00:43:33.062> it's<00:43:33.543> grounded<00:43:34.008> in<00:43:34.184> biblical<00:43:34.585> truth.

00:43:35.129 --> 00:43:37.613
And<00:43:35.770> I<00:43:35.866> think<00:43:36.027> we—<00:43:36.347> they're<00:43:36.507> just<00:43:36.668> craving<00:43:37.132> that<00:43:37.292> stuff.

I<00:43:37.789> mean,<00:43:38.110> we're<00:43:38.494> in<00:43:38.574> a<00:43:38.654> world<00:43:38.911> now<00:43:39.620> You<00:43:40.120> can't<00:43:40.320> even<00:43:40.440> tell<00:43:40.540> me<00:43:41.280> there's—<00:43:41.720> you're<00:43:41.920> trying<00:43:42.000> to<00:43:42.080> tell<00:43:42.220> me<00:43:42.300> there's<00:43:42.520> more<00:43:42.740> than<00:43:43.100> two<00:43:43.300> genders?

00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:45.120
What<00:43:44.440> are<00:43:44.560> you<00:43:44.660> talking<00:43:44.820> about?

Like,<00:43:46.720> what's<00:43:47.400> marriage?

00:43:47.860 --> 00:43:49.440
Marriage<00:43:48.020> between<00:43:48.280> one<00:43:48.480> man<00:43:48.660> and<00:43:48.740> one<00:43:48.900> woman<00:43:49.060> for<00:43:49.220> life.

00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:50.320
That's<00:43:49.720> the<00:43:49.820> covenant<00:43:49.940> of<00:43:50.160> marriage.

00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:52.890
Anything<00:43:50.600> else,<00:43:50.900> you<00:43:51.060> distorted<00:43:51.460> it,<00:43:51.720> and<00:43:51.820> it's<00:43:51.940> just<00:43:52.120> a<00:43:52.440> lie.

00:43:53.140 --> 00:43:54.200
And<00:43:53.440> Oprah's<00:43:53.900> wrong.

00:43:54.200 --> 00:43:55.880
There's<00:43:54.420> not<00:43:54.600> many<00:43:54.840> different<00:43:55.180> ways<00:43:55.340> to<00:43:55.520> heaven.

00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:57.640
No,<00:43:56.120> Jesus<00:43:56.360> is<00:43:56.560> the<00:43:56.620> way,<00:43:56.760> the<00:43:56.840> truth,<00:43:57.040> and<00:43:57.200> the<00:43:57.400> life.

00:43:57.640 --> 00:43:59.680
So<00:43:57.860> just<00:43:58.080> go<00:43:58.260> ahead<00:43:58.460> and<00:43:58.560> stomp<00:43:58.680> all<00:43:58.960> over<00:43:59.200> her.

00:49:18.096 --> 00:49:21.321
It's<00:49:18.321> not<00:49:18.562> complicated,<00:49:19.845> but<00:49:19.989> we<00:49:20.085> just,<00:49:20.406> we,<00:49:20.567> we,<00:49:20.791> we<00:49:20.968> mix<00:49:21.289> it.

Okay,<00:49:35.180> well,<00:49:35.485> if<00:49:35.629> you<00:49:35.661> never<00:49:35.902> heard<00:49:36.127> God,<00:49:36.431> here's<00:49:36.752> a,<00:49:36.848> here's<00:49:37.153> one<00:49:37.250> thing<00:49:37.410> you<00:49:37.490> can<00:49:37.651> do.

Read<00:49:38.540> the<00:49:38.680> Bible<00:49:38.900> out<00:49:39.240> loud.

00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:41.390
You<00:49:40.220> can<00:49:40.400> start<00:49:40.620> with<00:49:40.840> that.

00:49:41.600 --> 00:49:43.080
Don't<00:49:41.800> just<00:49:42.060> read<00:49:42.240> in<00:49:42.400> your<00:49:42.580> head.

00:49:45.940 --> 00:49:55.000
And<00:49:46.040> if<00:49:46.180> you<00:49:46.280> spend<00:49:46.600> enough<00:49:46.900> time<00:49:47.200> in<00:49:47.380> the<00:49:47.820> Bible<00:49:47.821> and<00:49:48.440> reading<00:49:48.740> it<00:49:49.060> out<00:49:49.220> loud,<00:49:49.920> and<00:49:50.020> then<00:49:50.380> actually,<00:49:51.160> you<00:49:51.260> know,<00:49:51.420> I<00:49:51.500> do<00:49:51.640> a<00:49:51.780> whole<00:49:51.940> thing<00:49:52.260> where<00:49:52.420> I<00:49:52.680> read,<00:49:53.580> all<00:49:53.680> right,<00:49:53.800> what<00:49:53.920> are<00:49:54.020> you<00:49:54.099> trying<00:49:54.280> to<00:49:54.399> show<00:49:54.540> me,<00:49:54.840> God?

All<00:49:55.140> right,<00:49:55.280> Lord.

00:49:55.640 --> 00:49:57.040
So<00:49:55.720> it's<00:49:55.920> a<00:49:56.120> map<00:49:56.300> and<00:49:56.500> it's<00:49:56.620> a<00:49:56.740> mirror.

00:49:57.040 --> 00:49:57.860
So<00:49:57.160> here's<00:49:57.400> the<00:49:57.600> map.

00:49:57.860 --> 00:49:59.440

00:50:00.520 --> 00:50:03.580

00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:25.589
Or<00:50:22.136> it<00:50:22.216> doesn't<00:50:22.537> matter<00:50:22.842> so<00:50:23.019> much<00:50:23.340> who<00:50:23.501> we<00:50:23.597> serve<00:50:24.127> ultimately<00:50:24.529> if<00:50:24.561> I'm<00:50:24.770> trying<00:50:24.946> to<00:50:25.026> serve<00:50:25.412> him.
